Etymology

From Proto-Indo-Aryan *Hayẓḍ-.

Root

ईळ् • (īḷ)

  1. (Vedic) to adore, to laud, to worship
    • RV 1.1.1
      अग्निमीळे पुरोहितं यज्ञस्य देवं ऋत्वीजम्।
      होतारं रत्नधातमम् ॥
      agnímīḷe puróhitaṃ yajñásya devám r̥tvíjam
      hótāraṃ ratnadʰā́tamam
      I laud Agni, the chosen priest, God, minister of sacrifice,
      the hotar, lavishest of wealth.

Usage notes

The verb arose as a result of intervocalic sandhi in ईड् (īḍ). So:

अग्निमीडे ― agnimīḍe ― I laud Agni

became:

अग्निमीळे ― agnimīḷe ― I laud Agni

Derived terms
  • ईळति (īḷati, “to adore”, 1 P)
  • ईळते (īḷate, 1 Ā)
  • ईळयति (īḷayati)
  • ईळितृ (īḷitṛ, “one who praises, praiser”)
